Chidiya Tapu Island
Known as the bird island, Chidiya Tapu is a picturesque little island in the Andamans, located around 25 km from Port Blair. While birdwatching is the main allure of the location, there are some fun water activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, deep-sea walking, pearl hunting, and boating that one could engage in along its shores.
The Sunset point of the island is considered one of the best sunset points in the Andamans. A trekking trail is available from the shores of the scenic beach to the grand Munda Pahad, an elongated black cliff at the edge of Chidiya Tapu with an open seascape providing a truly breathtaking view of the rich blue ocean.
The road to the beach lets travelers pass the fascinating rugged rocks of Kalpathar. Along with the myriad of mesmerizing natural beauty, there is a mini zoo close to the beach where one can view interesting creatures like the monitor lizard. The waters are known to be inhabited by crocodiles, thus entering the water here is forbidden. However, watching the scores of birds fly by as you relax by the pristine water and watching the alluring sunset is a memory of a lifetime.
